Celebrity obsession

I am NOT obsessed, Just dont care at ALL.

As for this being a celebrity message board, I dont care anything the personal lives of the members of Fleetwood Mac (ie - Dont give a **** about hearing about Lindsey & Stevie's lives) - not of interest to me. Just play music is all I ask...I was being honest with the question asked, nothing more/nothing less...If someone likes "celebrities" doesnt make them wrong in my eyes, and hopefully my disdain is accepted equally.

I don't see anything wrong with it either. I think you are more of the exception than the rule. I guess maybe the choice of the word "obsession" is what I find funny. I think it's subjective. I've been called "obsessed" with Stevie and Fleetwood Mac by friends and family because I've been a fan for a long time, and I try to go see them at least once per tour. On the other hand, I do not follow them from state to state, and get upset if I don't get seats within the first 3 rows because I won't be able to get to the stage for the "edge" walk. Like you, I don't think there is anything wrong with it, whatever makes you happy. Someone who reads the tabloids because they are fascinated by Brad and Angelina's baby, or Britney Spears' weight loss might seem celebrity obsessed, but then again, they might think the same of someone who dresses up like Stevie and goes to every one of her shows on the east coast. It's like Violet Beauregarde telling Willy Wonka spitting is a dirty habit, while her finger is shoved up her nose.

I understand and took zero offense at what you typed earlier.

It's not that I am obsessed-and I do not have "deep lyrics to express my feelings today"- I'm like Stevie, "I don't want to be a waitress I want to be a star"It's Today it's simple:
I want to be a ROCKSTAR

Just like Nickelback chants:
I�m through with standing in line
to clubs we�ll never get in
It�s like the bottom of the ninth
and I�m never gonna win
This life hasn�t turned out
quite the way I want it to be

I want a brand new house
on an episode of Cribs
And a bathroom I can play baseball in
And a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me

I�ll need a credit card that�s got no limit
And a big black jet with a bedroom in it
Gonna join the mile high club
At thirty-seven thousand feet

I want a new tour bus full of old guitars
My own star on Hollywood Boulevard
Somewhere between Cher and
James Dean is fine for me

I�m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I�d even cut my hair and change my name

�Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We�ll all stay skinny �cause we just won�t eat
And we�ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
> Every good gold digger�s
Gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
With her bleach blond hair

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I wanna be great like Elvis without the tassels
Hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
Sign a couple autographs
So I can eat my meals for free
think I�m gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashion
Get a front door key to the Playboy mansion
Gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me

I�m gonna trade this life
For fortune and fame
I�d even cut my hair
And change my name

�Cause we all just
wanna be big rockstars
And live in hilltop houses
driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and
the drugs come cheap
We�ll all stay skinny
�cause we just won�t eat
And we�ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger�s
gonna wind up there
Every Playboy bunny
with her bleach blond hair
And we�ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and
today�s who�s who
They�ll get you anything
with that evil smile
Everybody�s got a
drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

I�m gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
Gonna pop my pills
from a pez dispenser
When they ask why I drink all day
I�ll say because I can

I�m gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
I�d even cut my hair and change my name

Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
And live in hillltop houses driving fifteen cars
The girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
We�ll all stay skinny �cause we just won�t eat
And we�ll hang out in the coolest bars
In the VIP with the movie stars
Every good gold digger�s gonna wind up there
Every playboy bunny with her bleach blond hair
And we�ll hide out in the private rooms
With the latest dictionary and today�s who�s who
They�ll get you anything with that evil smile
Everybody�s got a drug dealer on speed dial

Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar
Hey hey I wanna be a rockstar

But-that is today- Tomorrow I may want to be an obsure writer, thinking deep thoughts....and sharing them with the world...
Who knows?

I've sort of been obsessed with Beethoven, Erasmus, Edmund Wilson, & Stevie Nicks. I feel that it's shameful.
